The following excellent speech,

request of the judge's many admirers:
who were present:
Soldi Kits Xnp Gkxti,i;men?Thi?

and J scarcely know lidw to address

power, 1 am yet here alone in my
qhjpacity hs -a citizen, and mtfyj'pcakj
.to *ou as citizens as well as soldiers,
'rho'condition^ ofjtlie.'.K${uth, gentUmcn,'
is extraordinary and anomalous. It
is not in accord with the essential
spirit of our great rcpub'ic that the
uniform of the soldier should confront
and impeach the republican dignity
of the citizen; and the mosttjminful
duty of the future historian will be to
make a proper excuse for the con
tinued presence in time of peace of a
considerable federal force in any part
of our country. lie will have to ad
mit and deplore the necessity. He will
have to show that the necessity arose
in the unbroken spirit of ii heroic and
devoted people, .unable to control the
passing .11|;lL huUbceUr: excited by an
unparalleled war, ami unable all at
once t o smother the dying embers of a

Und while, gentlemen, the cxistcnee
ol' the troojis were necessary to assist
our people in the return of peace and

expected that a people who had illus

on race with splendid virtue that
even the lost cause in not shed upon
the military character of the Ameri

that these people should not yield to
such a radical change in every ele

there a bloody challenge of the piouts
of the war.
Still, gentlemen, the day is not far
distant?its light is now breaking all
around us?whin your'presence will
no longer Lu needed, when the civil
authority of the Slate shall be

?.Toledo Ghost Story.
Last weck a-respected citizen died
ib'tins city, nntj was laid out in funer
al robes preparatory to interment next
day. That night two watchers sat in
the room adjoining, that in which
the corpsc was" lying.. The door be
tween the two rbQins was shut, but not
latclied. Along toward midnight the
watchers began, )as, watchers will, to
amuse themselves by telling gho:;t
stories. If there is any place or time
when a ghost ttory can be told with a
popular, thrilling effect it is in the
''dead waste aucl middle cf the night,1'
in the immediate propinquity of a
corpse; which has just yielded up the
ghn?t.
So it proveiLin .this instance. As
the narrator proceeded with the blood
curdling recital, he and his auditor in
stinctively turned their cyea toward
the door of the room in which the dead
man lay. tFust then the relator

"At that minute an awful groan was
heard, the lights turned blue, and
there was a amell of brimstone,' the
door opened (ff itself, and in walked
The knob of the dcor to the corpse'5
room turned slowly, and the door
swung open open w.tli a long 'screech.
The relatt-r tsnrieked.
?"There it docs come!" and with n
convulsive bovnd, threw lm arms
ti round his companion's neck. Every
individual hair upon the lattcr's head
became as rigid as a' frozen knitting
needle, his lingers worked like an im
paled fisli worm, and he goasped out:
"Ilowly Mary I mother of-"

uirtics, not seeing any spiritual visi

Apropos of the Tyndall-Darwin

A grocer in a certain town keeps

What makes this life ?o poor and
